Thanks for those .pets
I've installed all 4 of them and it works just fine on my Fujitsu Siemens Desktop with 500 MB ram and 2;6 GHz.
It runs with pupitup 4.1.2 kernel 2.6.25.16
However on my Aspire One netbook, starting it kills X...
Might be due to 1024x600 res screen.
And Charlie, since we live one mile apart we'll have to meet some day ! _________________Don't poop it down... Pup it Up !

Have to mention that gCAD3D works with that Nvidia Ge6 graphic card using k2.6.25.16.+NVIDIA-173.14.12-k2.6.25.16.pet +xorg_xorg-7.3-full-DRI.pet
Whereas on pup430-k2.630.5+NVIDIA-185.18.36-k2.6.30.5-1.pet I have e.g. GoogleEarth-4.3_430-sfs4.sfs nice working WITHOUT xorg_xorg-7.3-full-DRI.pet as xorg is already in the Nvidia driver.

Cheers, Charlie

Gray wrote: I have compiled and packaged the Nvidia drivers for the new kernel of Puppy 4.3 (k2.6.30.5). The pet packages also contain OpenGL libraries (libglut and libGLU) and a test program glxgears, so you do not need to install the xorg_dri package for OpenGL support.

ps: I wonder if it could be usefull to ask gray's advice ? I believe this could come from xorg_dri new kernel compatibility. I indeed try the xorg_full_DRI with the new kernel on different graphic cards (onboard intel 845G and nvidia ge6): both do not give OpenGL working. Whereas both are working on k2.6.25.16.

To get openGL working on my computer, I also installed xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3.pet. Unfortunately why this doesn't work for you is beyond my understanding...I know Mu was clued up on getting graphics cards working with openGL...but he's quite busy with other stuff AFAIK.

Hi Muggins,
with ch-gCAD3D-1.30-sfs4.sfs...
gCAD3D (now...) works !!! on puppies 4.31.1 ttuuxxx updated (it di not till now nor as also on pup430 final k2.6.30.5):
a few minutes ago "glxinfo" was still telling "direct rendering; No".
I just launched googleearth before ..it ran OK; afterwards did "glxgears' in a terminal and FPS was around 1300FPS ! So I did again"glxinfo" and it said "direct rendering; Yes" ....unbelievable ...I verify which puppy was running !!
Be fore I just installed libgtkgl-2.0.1.0.0 as recommended in page 1 this thread and previously uninstalled libselinux.

Giving it a try with 431-rc when I installed libgio-2.0.so.0.pet I lost most of my deskop functions (screen black), menu works only to shut down...

Same thing happened to me in 4.3.0, so I rooted 'round in Puppy's innards, and that library is already included from the get-go, or so it seems to me.

I've gotten it running seemingly just fine by simply not installing libgio, but to be fair I haven't really stressed it out very greatly. I've just been using it to view IGES files- no creation or modification at all.
Like I said, though, it seems to work just fine so long as you don't install libgio in 4.3. Might want to give it a try.

If , you are curious , Blender ,python based marvel have 3d cad possibility + many,many more... and it run fine on puppy 431:http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=52163&sid=e30a077b39034eb530c8e6ba5ec29d4f
then a 3d tutorial:http://www.rab3d.com/tutorial.html

I think , blender could become with those python scripts growing arround the best 3dcad + cam on linux.
